GUANGZHOU, Dec. 18 (Xinhua) — Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport in south China's Guangdong Province on Wednesday announced that its annual passenger throughput exceeded 80 million for the first time, of which more than 16.6 million were foreign travelers.
This achievement was achieved following the commissioning of the third terminal and a new runway on October 30 this year, allowing the airport to operate with three terminals and five commercial runways. This makes it the first civilian airport in China with five commercial runways.
Baiyun Airport's passenger traffic exceeded 70 million in 2019 and is expected to reach 76 million in 2024 amid a recovering aviation market. The airport leverages its strategic location in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to strengthen domestic connections and expand international routes.
With the opening and resumption of more international passenger routes this year, Baiyun Airport's global network has now covered more than 100 destinations. -0-
